Hi all

Managed to save up and get myself a cheap Fazer 600 1998, Only issue i think i will have is using the choke as ive never had an older bike, Is it simple to use? Also is it best to let these bikes warm up before setting off as i started it up and left straight away today and the revs were dropping a fair bit when i stopped at lights...

Cheers
 
Thanks for the tips bud, On hot days like we've been having is it ok to start the bike and leave straight away, The only reason i ask is because i leave for work at Half past midnight and its a pretty loud exhaust, Dont want to **** the neighbours off :p

As above, the only thing you need to change is manually adjusting the choke.

In this weather your probably won't even need much/any choke, but in winter: choke fully out, start bike, give it a few seconds then choke half way in. Ride away, and after a mile push the choke in all the way.

A few moments is ok but ideally you should set off pretty quickly.

Well I leave for work just after midnight most nights so don't really want to be sat around with the revs high, ive been setting off more or less straight after starting the engine and by the time I get to the traffic lights the engine seems warm and running ok, Just didn't know if it was good for the bike.
